bars hopping

it was a bar hopping weekend.

on sat night, after dinner at fig & olive, we set off on conquering many bars that night. dinner was fine, slightly above expectations actually. it was in the cobblestone meatpacking district and this is a must checkout area for someone visiting.

we walked across to hotel gansevoort which has a rooftop bar. YEEEEEKS- so much for the hype!!! we walked one round and unanimously agreed to leave without looking back. the crowd was ugly and old.

walked to 510 Hudson St - Employees Only. this place is a gem. you wouldnt have known there is a bar from outside. they have a dinner area at the back too.

we then cabbed to Pegu Club at 77 W Houston St. Stupid me was saving my calories for later so I dint try the cocktails. I sipped Adrian's and it was very very good. the place is drop dead gorgeous and a "mecca for serious cocktail connoisseurs". will be back!!

we thought that we wanted to dance so headed to the Park. the crowd was very disappointing again. not sure why there were many youngsters and erm, indians. maybe someone was throwing a party. no idea why. i was kinda upset cos i used to like this place alot- especially the Penthouse, where it is open-aired. this place is no longer "legendary". however, this was the only place that we had to stand in line on a sat night. there were 3 jap gals in front of us and it was so interesting to watch one peering at adrian constantly. she had to turn around and look up cos adrian is tall (and cute). was way too obviously that she was checking him out but that guy dint bat an eyelid.

last stop was at the the Hudson bar which is in the Hudson Hotel. this part is the prelude to my entry on monday's date.

special mention that lily and marcel were around the last week and we hung out almost every night. im dead tired now but it was so nice to catch up.
